Romania to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
Romania is ready to break ranks with the European Union and relocate its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The leader of Romania's ruling Social Democrats said the government had approved a memorandum to move its embassy in Israel, one of the first countries to do so after the United States.
Under Romanian legislation, President Klaus Iohannis would have the final say.
He said he had not been consulted yet.
On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "at least half a dozen" countries were considering moving their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The U.S. Embassy is due to relocate on May 14.
